Tag line on boat for recovery after release

Many fail to plan ahead. Once the boat is freed it will be full of very heavy water and will continue downstream perhaps to pin on something else. Add a second independent tag line on the upstream end of the boat. Consider attaching the tag line with a tensionless hitch to a tree of some other suitable anchor. This will limit how far the boat will travel and buy you some time to land on shore.
